ok so i am not going to lie..... here in maribor we are dominating everything!!! so let me tell you a little bit about church. Well president fidler called us Sunday morning and said he was sick so he asked Andrej to lead the meeting. And Andrej has never led a meeting or anything, so he was really really nervous. Then to make the meeting even crazier we had 8 INVESTIGATORS COME!!!!!!!!!! yeah i know... it was crazy, we only had 8 members there, and then we had 5 investigators kids that decided to come. So i would have to say i dont think i have prayed so much in one meeting as i did in this one. Ever missionary had an investigator on both sides of them. Hahaha and it was a first time for alot of the investigators. So Andrej did really well, it was kinda wierd at some points but ever member was trying there best so there isnt much more you can do. One bad thing though, when franjo (the huge huge member that is super cool) went up to bless the sacrement his underwear was showing in the back, and it didnt have the best impression on the investigators. But he didnt mean to, he is just such a big guy.
But i love it here in maribor! We are finding alot of people right now! This week we had to do down to ljubljana for a meeting and so we took a train that was pretty much empty. While waiting to leave, we were sitting on the train and for some reason i threw my companion a coin, which took a wierd bounce and started rolling down the aisle. Then i guy (about 30 with tattoes) comes up to where we were sitting and gives me my penny back, and so i invited him to sit up with us. Well he ended up being super cool. I talked with him the whole ride down to Ljubljana (3 hours) and i taught him about the book of mormon, and after life, and he just had a bunch of questions so i would tell him where he could find answers to some of his questions in the BOM and he would look them up! He really really liked it. So hopefully something good will happen from it.
English class is going super well. And we are starting something new next transfer to even get more investigators. We are going to do seperate English classes, so pretty much one on one with the students. We have a ton of good ideas, and i am really excited!
WEll i got my package.... actaully 2 packages (thanks mom... thanks grandpa)! they were the best packages ever! Everything in them was in good shape. Well i am doing good. i really dont want to get transfered!!!! and transfers are coming up soon.... so i am really nervous!
Well hopefully we will be seeing some baptisms in maribor soon! love you guys!
ps... i almost forgot that we totally went door bell ditching twice this week! hahaha cool huh? There was a member that joined a different church that was thinking about coming back. But we knew she would feel a little dumb coming back because she would be worried everyone would hate her or be ashamed (which isnt true). So we got a couple people to write her cards then got her flowers and rang their door belll and ran. Well we ran hard and far so she wouldnt know who it was and its always more fun... but we forgot that her daughter (10 year old member) was a little beast and always has the most energy ever. So when we thought we were plenty far away we started walking then we heard...... "there they are" then we see the little girl pointing and running at us... so we run super super far this time over this mountain (slightly exagerating) and we look back and she was still coming! hahaha so we ended up running for like 10 mins. hahaha it was super fun!
